China and India signed deals worth more than $22 billion in areas
including renewable energy, ports, financing and industrial parks, an
Indian embassy official said on Saturday.

Namgya C. Khampa, of the Indian Embassy in Beijing, made the remarks at
the end of a three-day visit by Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi,
during which he sought to boost economic ties and quell anxiety over a
border dispute between the neighbours.

"The agreements have a bilateral commercial engagement in sectors like
renewable energy, industrial parks, power, steel, logistics finance and
media and entertainment," Khampa said.
China is interested in more opportunities in India's $2 trillion economy.

During a visit to India last year by Chinese President Xi Jinping, China
announced $20 billion in investments over five years, including setting
up two industrial parks.

Since then, progress has been slow, in part because of the difficulties
Modi has had in getting political approval for easier land acquisition
laws.
